Doing whatever you do in Princeton...
I'm off to Princeton until the 27th. Updates will probably be sparse. Meanwhile, enjoy the archives...there's some good stuff in there already.
O, I am bereft...
The overzealous Internet filter wonks at my company have just implemented a filter that says the Bookslut site is pornographic. It goes on to ominously report my IP address and say it has been logged.
Now, really.
It's a figure of speech! It's not naked librarians, just people who love books. Is that so wrong?
Ironically, my own site is not filtered, despite having a quasi-naked librarian on it.
Now I get to convince the filter wonk to unblock the site. O, joy.
Hey, hey, hey I've got it...World Cup Fever!
The soundtrack of this post is brought to you by Air Miami.
Germany edged out the US 1-0, and I can't say I'm surprised. I think 1-0 is a pretty respectable number versus Germany.
The US team's run this year is certainly a significant improvement over last World Cup's performance. One can only hope that the stellar performance of standout players like Landon Donovan and goalie Brad Friedel will earn soccer / football some additional attendance and viewership in this country.
Well done, US team!
Meanwhile, my rising fever continues apace, as the competition nears the final round. I hope I can watch the games while I'm in Princeton...
